Oil Cleansing is the Holy Grail for your Skin!
Oil Cleansing is the answer
It’s been quite some time (like 9 years…damn I feel old) that OilCleansing became a thing, though I think here in Australia wewere a little reticent to embrace it, it’s most certainly gota worldwide cult following now.So here’s the low down on Oil Cleansing!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Oil dissolves oil!
Cleansing oils very smartly cling to any excess oil on your skin, alongwith make-up, cosmetics, environmental pollutants, excess sebum andsweat and whisk them away. While it’s cleansing your skin beautifullyit’s also hydrating and nourishing.As with all of our formulations our Hemp Cleanser is also soap free sothere is no harsh detergents scrubbing away your natural protectivebarrier. It works beautifully on every skin type, fabulous for the moremature skins (yep that’s me) but even better for those with oily orcombination skin and particularly useful for those suffering from acneand breakouts. We've had particularly good results for those with acne,keep an eye on our instagram for some before and after results.
When you use a traditional soap based cleanser your not only strippingaway the cosmetics and pollutants on your beautiful skin, you’re alsostripping away the needed protection your skin produces naturally.Soap based cleansers certainly strip away all the grime and oil –but it doesn’t know when to stop, it’s so incredibly harsh it leavesyour skin dry and damaged, and your skin will work at triple timetrying to replace that lost and needed oil protection.
It's a vicious cycle for those crippled by acne, they clean and clean
believing losing the oil will help their breakouts.
But, the exact opposite happens, your skin will continue to go
through this cycle of overproducing oil, only making
any breakouts even more severe.
That’s where Oil Cleansers are the answer, though they’ll cleanseyour skin beautifully they won’t strip your protective barrier, in factit will be nourished and over time your natural oil production willbalance, the effect? balanced oils, protected skin, less breakouts.
How to use Cleansing oil?
With dry hands, and a dry face, massage it gently in a circular motion
on your face, neck and chest. I like to use it just prior to having a
shower and letting the steam do some of that extra cleansing for
me, but there is no need, simply remove gently with a facewasher.
Our Organic Hemp facecloths (made by hand with love here in
Australia) are perfect for this, add to that they are stain, odour,
mould/mildew resistant and just need to be tossed into your weekly
towel wash, they’ll last forever and you’ll be saving the planet from all
those nasty disposable facewipes.
Consider double cleansing and repeating the process once a week
for that extra lift and polish to your skin.
The oil cleanser replaces your usual cleansers and face washes,
but do make sure you remove and rinse your face thoroughly and complete
your usual skincare routine with serum, or moisturiser, eye cream etc.
If you’re not using the perfect blend of Oil Cleanser, such as ours 😊
you can run into problems, so be sure to read the ingredients list –
some oils simply aren’t as appropriate as others for cleansing.
Below is a basic list of the comedogenic (pore blocking factor) ratings
for our most commonly available oils & ingredients. There are times
of course (eg. Mature skin, very dry skin, body oils etc) where the
higher rating can be a blessing, and may have other benefits that
outweigh their comedogenic score, but for cleansing stick with a
mix of the oils rated 2 and lower, remembering it’s the ratio
that’s important.
If you're searching for the perfect oil cleanser formulation, that's simple
because it works, is organic, small batch made, eco, low waste,
packed in glass and vegan, look no further than our Oil Cleanser.
It can be bundled up with the Organic Hemp face cloths for
further savings here.
Happy Cleansing!
A nourished skin, is a healthy skin!
